QUEST IN ANTARCTIC.
EARLY WORD EXPECTED. [BY TELEGRAPH.—-OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON. Tuesday. If Sir Ernest Shackleton had lived to complete his last expedition according to his original plan, his ship, tho Quest, would have been due in Now Zealand waters this month. The groat explorer had intended to examine the coastline of tho Antarctic Continent from Enderby Land westward during the summer that has passed and then to come eastward to New Zealand, exploring certain islands en loute. This plan was modified after his death, and it appears now that the guest probably will put into Capetown. Some news of the little ship ought to be received in the near future since the season for navigation •in the Antarctic regions has closed. "".'>
